Dear DrBicuspid Member,
Smiles, handshakes, and satisfied customers abounded last week during the University of the Pacific (UOP) dental school's annual Excellence Day event.
More than 50 student dentists gave presentations on the care they provided at the UOP clinic, including complex restorations, dentures, implants, cosmetic dentistry, removable prosthodontics, and orthodontics. In addition, more than 20 awards for clinical excellence, research, and community service were presented.

In other Practice Management Community news, a Georgia woman who managed a bustling dental practice for 20 years was arrested last week on charges of embezzling $2 million from the practice. When a trusted employee turns out to be something else, it is hard not to question how it happened. Click here to see what one expert in the field says dentists can do to better screen for potential embezzlers.
Finally, green tea extract and resveratrol are two plant-derived dietary agents that have shown promise in treating oral and other cancers. But their limited availability and inadequate targeted delivery mechanisms pose a challenge for clinical use. Read more in this latest Oral Cancer & Diagnostics Community feature.
